    Who are they expecting to sell stuff to if everyone is unemployed and fighting over an ever decreasing piece of the pie?

      That’s (really) a political issue, not a company issue. Each company does exactly what it’s supposed to do: maximize profit for their shareholders. Even if they know it will end in a total disaster, they’ll keep doing that. That’s how the system works. Making sure the system works is the job of the policy makers.

      Unfortunately, the policy maker is now in the companies payroll and so helps maximize the shareholders profit, there is no one left to look at the bigger picture and/or long term effects.
